The NBA banned baggy clothes to clean up the thug (black) image, so how is this ok?

[WuDatWuDat]

It's ok cause it's not a "black" style of dress in today's fashion

Or because the XXXXXL clothes were commonly worn to conceal weapons. Don't need another Gilbert Arenas bringing weapons to work incident.

It's not even trolling, nikkas really trying to prove their fashion forwardness, but who exactly are they trying to prove that to?
AI clearly dressed according to the fashion of the culture he felt connected to, which was Hiphop culture
By how these dudes are dressing now, what culture are they comfortable with and trying to connect to?

Hiphop culture's fashion is not unique and distinct as it once was. Which makes sense cause the critics and writers garnering alot of influence in Hiphop are mostly from non-hiphop sources, so why would Hiphop's fashion be any different

he be trolling, westbrook thats my nikka

Son I'm DONE nikka literally looks like a 14 year old suburban white girl on her way to social studies class and shyt

IT COMES down to this...They viewed dudes like AI as threating Thugs so they wanted to c"lean it up" they don't think these skinny jeans, capri/skirt wearing dudes are a threat so no one cares in the dominant society...

AI may of legit been one of the realist dudes to ever do it.

You must be smoking some good shyt. I wouldnt even wear this out my house or even go to the corner store with this shyt on....

Ok, yall using Westbrook as the fashion mascot.. outside of him, the NBA dudes dress way better than the Iverson era...

 

[Serious]

Im sorry..but Westbrook look, no matter how eccentric, is better than Iversons look

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

What makes this shyt any better

Odell & Russell aka Leverne & Shirley

I was thinking the same thing he literally looks like a high school white girl. Was he wearing Vans or those thick soled boots?

 

[Originalman]

Of course. These dudes just trolling

Yep and they know it helps with their marketing and brand.

 

[JLova]

What makes this shyt any better

That's acceptable by white standards, though.

 

[Jplaya2023]

Im sorry..but Westbrook look, no matter how eccentric, is better than Iversons look

so wearing women's clothing is preferable over you to baggy clothing? Do you get mani's and Pedi's as well?

You haven't seen James Harden and D Wade?

Don't know why the players put up with it. If they'd told the nba to get to fukk there's nothing the league could do.

Fines and suspensions which is why Noah went and changed outta that sweater and into a blazer.

Really the dress code is for when you're not playing. The league has eased up on what you wear to and from the arena
